‘From the deteriorating and claustrophobic neighborhood of Elena Ferrante to the violent Gomorra of Roberto Saviano, Heddi Goodrich's is a third Naples – central, dense, vital – a story of love and of roots, of origins, set in the Spanish Quarter’ Corriere della sera
‘Written from the perspective of a young woman discovering love for the first time, the tale unravelled within the mystery and culture of Naples. Transported to the gritty streets of Naples, reading this novel felt both excruciating and exciting’ NB Magazine
 
‘Goodrich is perceptive on the potent early days of first love and the exhilaration of living in a foreign country – a sort of romance in itself … her depiction of the Spanish Quarter is deliciously vivid with its hollering fish sellers and shrieking neighbours, canopies of laundry and purring motorbikes, and glimpses of glittering sea from sun-drenched rooftops’ Discover Southern Europe
